LIV CEO: League has backing to finish '26 season
LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil assures financial backing for the 2026 season amid funding concerns.
The Los Angeles Rams, holding the 13th overall pick, are eyeing Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. as a potential target similar to A.J. Brown. Cooper's skills could fill the Rams' need for a talented wide receiver and help him develop into a key player in Southern California.
The Los Angeles Rams have the 13th overall pick and earlier this offseason, they made inquiries for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown. While it doesn't seem like Brown will be moved, especially not to the Rams, the franchise is still in need of a player with Brown's talent.
Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. is that player. He delivers exactly what the Rams need, and he would become a star in Southern California.
There's a lot to love about Cooper's national championship-winning campaign with the Hoosiers. Amazing catches in clutch moments, big-time plays, moments of physical domination. Cooper has it all. However, there are three traits Brown possesses that Cooper also has, which would be amplified if he joined the Rams.: Sudden movements at the line of scrimmage, an ability to make contested catches, and a knack for making plays after the catch.
Realistically, Cooper would be the WR3. However, he could grow into the WR2 if Davante Adams starts to feel some wear and tear. Adams' lessons regarding leverage and attacking press coverage would serve Cooper well, and Adams is clearly willing to give it, as displayed last season.
On top of that, the Rams love intersecting routes, and the entire underneath would be theirs for the taking as both Cooper and Puka Nacua are able to take the ball to the house at any point. This is crucial for third and medium, a position the Rams often find themselves in due to their propensity to pass on early downs.
Making contested catches allows Matthew Stafford to fire bullets into tight windows. It's as simple as that. So don't be surprised if the Rams select Cooper because his hype is legit. He has All-Pro potential.
